In this episode, Andy sat down with Cheryl Hile. Cheryl is a has been running marathons since 2000, but in 2006 her life was changed when a nagging injury turned out to be MS. Due to physical challenges, Cheryl struggled with keeping her exercise goals alive, but she persisted and was fitted for a brace called an ankle-foot orthosis which helped her run without the fear of falling. As a result, since her diagnosis, she has completed over 60 marathons and became the first person with MS to run eight marathons on eight continents, completing them all in only 12 months!

In 2018, Cheryl founded “Run A Myelin My Shoes,” an MS support team that has now grown to over 300 teammates worldwide representing 19 countries. She founded this organization to dispel the often-misconceived notion that strenuous exercise is bad for MS, so her mission now is to encourage people with MS to keep pushing forward to the best of their abilities so they can remain active despite a disease that compromises mobility.

This weekend, on October 15, Cheryl and her Run A Myelin My Shoes team are participating in the Baltimore Marathon, and in this episode she shares how you can take part to support the cause. Check out this episode of It’s the Climb to hear the whole story.
